As Malaysia’s food supply chain continues to expand, the use of refrigerated and freezer trucks has become increasingly essential. These vehicles play a critical role in preserving the freshness and safety of perishable goods—from fresh seafood to frozen produce—by maintaining the integrity of the cold chain. To ensure consistent performance, refrigerated trucks require regular and structured maintenance. Proper servicing enhances reliability and efficiency while reducing the risk of costly breakdowns and product spoilage.
A refrigerated truck’s cooling unit should follow both minor and major maintenance schedules. Minor maintenance is typically carried out every three months, while major maintenance is performed annually. Both schedules are essential and should not replace one another. Consistent and preventive maintenance is crucial, as even the most reliable refrigeration systems can fail if not properly cared for—often at the most critical moments.
